The Stars My Destination Mafia

Reviewed by GuyInFreezer.

Before there was Cyber Punk SF, there was Alfred Bester, writing some of the best of a genre that did not yet exist.

If you're looking for megacorps, personal teleportation, telepathy, asteroid cargo cults and more, this game is for you.


Game type: Blitz Queue Large Theme
# Players: 14
Hydrae welcome


Game days will be 72 hours long. Nights will be 48 hours long. High commitment for a short duration game is the expectation. Players who are inactive for 24 hours during day phases will be replaced.

The original Galaxy Magazine Serial can be found here:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

I thought Peregrine joined ^

he did. I had someone else down twice instead, so it was still one short of 14.

And that's a hammer!

The game thread will be up and role PMs will be out in a few hours.

I'm not modding any of the upcoming games, but I'll raise the point that it would be quite bad for a blitz game (or any game TBH) if a substantial fraction of the playerlist dropped to one post a day. I admire your desire to play but would suggest taking the overall health of the game and enjoyment of other players into account too. A balanced approach would be to stay in (mod permitting) but be prepared to replace out if the game suffers.

An alternative approach would be to run blitz games at a still-accelerated but slower than fast pace. Maybe add 1-2 days per phase during the holiday time.

For this game, I plan to have 72 hour days with a 24 hour prod-timer and 8 hours to post after the prod.

I'll probably also add an additional 24 hours to the game days where holidays fall.

[fferyllt]

Three to go. If it fills before the 24th, I'll start the game this side of Christmas. Otherwise, it will start after Christmas.

This is a 13P Open multiball setup.

Game days are generally 3 calendar days long, so it's a short term commitment, but a high commitment for the next couple of weeks.

PM me if you're interested!
